It was Class 4's Assembly this week and we focused on the positives of being different and unique. As we all loved the film, 'The Greatest Showman', our assembly was based on two of the songs from it.
Class 4
Christmas Concert
Class 3 and 4 made their teachers very proud during their performance in the Christmas Concert. Do you recognise the tune?
Negative Numbers
Today we made a “human number-line” from -15 to 15. We then made smaller number-lines, for example, a number-line made with only even numbers and a number-line made only with odd numbers. Miss Potter then nominated different children to start at a number and jump up or down the number line, so that we could see which number we would end up at. Maths really can be fun!.
Rewind to Christmas
Class 4 went to Moortown Baptist Church to begin our Christmas celebrations. We learnt about The Christmas Story through acting and songs. Then we made our very own candlelight holders to represent that Jesus is the Light of the World. What a great way to remember the true meaning of Christmas!
Egyptian Workshop
Class 4 went to Leeds City Museum to do an Egyptian workshop. In the exhibition, we saw a real life mummy and lots of Ancient Egyptian artifacts. Then, we mummified the body of a boy called Sunny, who had been eaten by a crocodile! Finally, we made our very own Ancient Egyptian amulets. What a busy, but exciting morning!
Computing Workshop
On Friday, Class 4 had a computing workshop. We learnt about what 'Computer Science' was and how to follow algorithms to solve different problems. Miss Potter even managed to use an algorithm to solve a Rubik's cube! Then we programmed different characters on apps to do what we wanted. It was so fun and we all learnt a lot! Look at us in action...
International Day
Here are Class 4 on International Day. They all either dressed in their country's traditional clothes or in the colours of the Swiss flag.
Swiss Dancing for International Week
During our P.E. lesson, Class 4 made up a dance to traditional Swiss folk music. Miss Potter was very impressed with what we managed to achieve in an hour!
Making Fondue for International Week
Class 4 were learning about Switzerland during International Week, so we made a cheese fondue. Our favourite part was tasting it and dipping in the breadsticks and fruit that we had cut up. Yum!
Class 4 Assembly
Class 4 did a fantastic assembly all about Diwali, the Festival of Lights. It included lots of acting, singing, artwork and poems. If you missed it, here are some photos of our performance!
Biodiversity Workshop
Yesterday Class 4 went on a trip to the University of Leeds for a Biodiversity workshop. We learnt the importance of biodiversity and sustainability, and how bees help our environment so much. Then we got to see some real bees in their hive and try on bee-keeper outfits. It was really exciting to visit a university and it made me want to work even harder at school, so that I will be able to go to university when I am older.
Lineham Farm 2019
Below are lots of pictures showing you what a fantastic time the children had at Lineham Farm. All the children were very well behaved and joined in all the activities like super stars - well done everybody!

For our final Science lesson on electricity, Miss Potter let us design and created our own switches. Here are some examples of the successful ones that we made!
CPR Training
As the pool was closed, Andy and Ste, our swimming instructors, taught us how to administer CPR to adults, children and babies. We did such a good job, they then taught us some basketball skills as a reward.
Planting Trees
Class 4 have been to plant some new trees next to the Naseby Flats. We learned all about how to give them the best chance of survival. We can't wait to watch them grow over the years, especially since so many of us will walk past them every day on the way to school.
Ancient Egyptian Workshop
Today, Andrew, from the Discovery Centre came and showed us objects from Ancient Egypt. They were all at least 3,000 years old! Then, we got to make our own lucky amulets from clay beads and scarab beetles!
Fondue!
Class 4 enjoyed making a Swiss Fondue as part of our study of Switzerland for International Week. We enjoyed tasting it even more though!

Mrs Docherty visited Class 4 to explain about the issues of litter and how we can improve our environment by recycling. She helped us to create lunch boxes out of used milk cartons.
T-Shirt Designers
Class 4 created their very own T-Shirt designs around the theme of 'working in a team'. They then sewed their designs onto T-Shirts and are now able to wear their creations every Wednesday, during our 'Team Time' sessions.
Music for all Seasons
Class 4 used a variety of musical instruments to create a piece of music for each season of the year. Miss Potter, Mrs Rowe and Miss Spinks all thoroughly enjoyed the final performances!
Electricity!
Class 4 have really enjoyed their Electricity science topic this half term. They even managed to use objects from around school to create their own switches.
Temple Newsam Trip
Class 4 went on a trip to Temple Newsam to discover all about The Tudors, a topic that they've been studying in History this half term. During the workshop in the morning, the children learned all about the different Tudor clothing garments and were all able to dress up in Tudor clothes. They even performed 'The Peacock' dance, Anne Boleyn's favourite, in their clothes in the Picture Gallery. In the afternoon, the children learnt all about the weird and wonderful objects that people used every day in Tudor times. Finally, they used their dectective skills to discover which parts of the house still remained from Tudor times. A great day was had by all!
Class 4 Assembly
Last week, it was Class 4's Assembly which focused on their last Geography Topic: Cities. They shared some really interesting facts about Leeds as well as acted out the lives of famous people who were from the area that our school is in. They finished the Assembly with their Class song. If you missed it, here are some photos.
Moortown Baptist Church
Class 4 enjoyed a lovely afternoon at Moortown Baptist Church. They watched a performance which brought the Christmas Story to life, then they spent time in groups, either making Christmas tea light holders, or listening to the Christmas story from a Shepherd's perspective and a Wise Mans perspective.
Leeds City Museum
Class 4 enjoyed a great day out at Leeds City Museum. As part of their topic about Egypt, they learnt all about mummification and ancient Egyptian artefacts and also got to explore the rest of the museum.

Coding Workshop
On Thursday 30th June Year 4 spent the whole day learning about "coding" and programming computers, as well as a bit of history about computers. They worked on iPads all day and also discovered just how much we rely on computer today. They also learned how to turn the I-pad into an etch a sketch.
Class 4 Assembly
Class 4 have been doing a topic about recycling, which even included a visit to a quite smelly recycling plant to see how our rubbish is recycled. In their brilliant assembly, they taught the rest of the school, and parents, all about it!
Golden Mile
Sometimes in PE, the children run the Golden Mile, which is 12 laps around the playground. The children seem to really enjoy doing it and some get very competitive, doing over 20 laps!
Recycled Art!
Class 4 spent the morning learning about recycling and found some quite ingenious uses for plastic carrier bags with a little help from their friends - after a short PowerPoint presentation the children spent a happy time cutting up the bags into strips they could weave to make squares. After the squares were created they were heated to fuse the plastic together. While that was going on the children cut up some more bags to make decorations such as ladybirds and other bugs which were then fused onto the woven squares. Class 4 will be studying recycling in more detail after the Easter holidays which will include a visit to a recycling facility here in Leeds.
Scott Hall Christian Felllowship
Class 4 enjoyed a lovely visit to Scott Hall Christian Fellowship Church, where they learnt about lots of different bible stories, including Adam and Eve and Noah and the Flood. The looked at the displays, tasted some biblical foods, like figs, olives and pomegranate, and had fun doing some craft activities. They alsoi had a quiz and the winner will be announced in an assembly soon!
